Turkish MP: Al-Nusra Behind Car Bombings

The car bombings against the Turkish border town of Reyhanli were quickly blamed on the Syrian government by Turkish officials. MP Mehmet Ediboglu, a key figure in the opposition-leading CHP (Republican People’s Party) sees Jabhat al-Nusra as the culprit, however.

Ediboglu cited the tactics as a hallmark of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra fighters, and said the strike was obviously “the work of a very professional terrorist organization.” He also noted that Reyhanli is across the border from an al-Nusra-held border crossing.

The Reyhanli bombings, which killed 46 on Saturday, have sparked protests among Turkey’s nationalists and leftists, who say the government’s backing of rebels in Syria’s Civil War has led to the spillover violence.

So far no group has claimed credit for the attacks, but Turkey arrested nine people on Sunday, all of them Turkish citizens accused of ties to a “Marxist” organization with ties to the Assad government.

The Syria war as is started.., was a political mess created by hillary clinton in cooperation with saudis, the qataris, the european neo fascism…, then come turkey and Israel, then come jihadist, then come the country grown terrorists from all over Europe, the come the street embeciles from all over Arab world to fight the Syrian people.., after two years the people of Syria still standing fighting for their freedom.., keeping their government and are proud in what the have…, wtf did Turkish government got.., beside bunch of Neo terrorists on their soile.., wtf did all other government involved in this war got.., not a cow shi….tttttttt but their home grown terrorists returning for revenge.., as they did in turkey. Stupidity has it limitiation but this time the Turkish government have showmen that they are the not only sickly stupid but a…SSS kisser of these barbarians and that Danish Rattmussen. Yankee go home and take your bull dogs with you.

With all of the video documentation around the Boston Marathon, how many days did it take to pin down suspects? 3days. How long did it take Erdogan to accuse Syria? 3hours? 2hours? I realize MIT is all over the place, but they weren't able to avert the assassination of a Franciscan Bishop even though the Turk who nearly cut his head off was suspected by MIT of possible plot to assassinate former Pope Benedict? What is it with Turks trying to assassinate popes? What is it with Erdogan providing aid to extremist bent on destroying Syria? what is wrong with him?

He's a Turk. One day they are your best friends, the next day someone whispers in their ear and presto! – they're your mortal enemy trying to stab you below the waist. This whole Mid East extravaganza reeks of bull****, reeks to high Heaven – NATO nations making up any excuses to trade in their old puppets for new ones in the guise of giving the people of these secular dictatorships "freedom" and "democracy" while the Arab puppets do what they always do – sell their brothers out for a few bucks and a pat on the head from Uncle Whitey LOL

Anti war is turning into a disinformation machine. Shame Shame. Why would a group use bombs in or close to its own controlled zone? Why would you report on a turkish opposition leader statement without saying his is a pro Syrian regime?

Are you Anti-dictator except if they are on the US payroll?
After ten years of killing terrorists, they suddenly morph into "rebels" and "freedom-fighters" when they do the bidding of the US and Europe? Is that how that works?
They fooled the Americans and other Muslims into supporting these terrorists to kill other Muslims, deemed harram by TPTB, why not you too?

When Obama set the conditions for his direct military help for terrorists in Syria by his so called "red line" – use of chemical weapons, suddenly these chemical attacks became reality. As it has not helped too much with stated goal of terrorists – external military help, and instead they started to feel resolve of Syrians to get rid of these criminal bands of "freedom fighters" for good, after latest so called "Friends of Syria" meeting they made the attack on a NATO member – Turkey, believing this will give NATO reason to use their collective defense clause of NATO charter to bypass UN SC .

Cui bono? Syrian government would have to be crazy in its fight with international terrorists to call in open occupation. On the other side the Syrian jihad has been calling for this for two years.
